MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cloud By and Through Cloud v. Summers, 110 F.3d 67 (9th Cir. 1997):
The district court properly granted summary judgment on the federal claims on the ground that the claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations applicable to an actions filed under Section 1983 is the general personal injury statute of limitations in the state in which the claims are brought, Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 279 (1985)--in this case, the three-year statute of limitations established in Wash.Rev.Code 4.16.080(2).
